Goals for 2011

Last year, I accomplished several of the goals I set for myself on January 1. There were seventeen items on my list and I was able to cross twelve of them off by December 31. Not too shabby.

2011 is a whole different kind of a year … a year for me to discover myself as an adult … to meet new people … to try new things … to set higher goals for myself … to make a great life for me, Little Diva and Little Dude … and to have tons of fun in the process ...

I have NEVER looked sooo forward to the New Year.

Goals for 2011:Do something special with each of my kids (separately) each monthExpose my kids to one new food every monthFinally get Little Dude fully potty trainedStart some new traditions with my childrenHang out more with friendsRun 1,500 milesRun over 100 miles every monthRun one full marathon and four half marathonsLose five more pounds (already lost 12 with the “divorce diet”!)Work on my upper body and armsCome out of this situation financially fresh and be more financially responsibleRead four (non childrens!) booksStart a food diary againLimit my Diet Mountain Dew intake to two cans per dayMeet ten new bloggers, in personSpectate more races

Try something new … bucket list for 2011:Participate in a running groupDownhill skiingRock climbingBoatingCampingSign up for a new exercise class at the gymVisit a beer tentDate (for the first time in my life)

I hope that 2011 brings a lot of fun,new experiences for all three of us along the way.

I also look forward to continuingto do the things that I love ...with the people I love ...

great goals Jamie...my sister went through a similiar situation at Christmas 2 years ago. all i can tell you is that she in a much better place and really started focusing on goals to reach and achieve. she also says that the dating is not so bad:) good luck. xoxoxoxo!!

You have always been an insperation to me since I started running and found your blog. Good luck with your 2011 goals. It's the first year I've made my own list of fitness goals. I am excited to keep following you journey andng encouraged through your blog.

Great Stuff Jamie! Since you live in Wisconsin...and I live in MN...I could help you accomplish two of your goals... meet a blogger and visit a beer tent...The MN State Fair has a great one!! Anyway... even tho I am just a beginner runner...I love your blog and you are inspiring. I am sorry that you are hurting!!

SA and i got some sweet new camping gear for christmas. lantern, stove, tent (that can sleep 9 adults!).if you ever wanna have a big shin-dig at a local campground (or non-local... whateva') we'll be glad to help you make that one off of your list!

Sorry about the rough patch but its a new year and a fresh start and it sounds like you have a good attitude about it and are ready to conquer what lies ahead! Good luck in 2011! Hope its a good one! :)

Great goals. Divorce is horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but I think the only way to survive it (and thrive afterward) is to do just what you're doing - look to the future and make your life the life you always dreamed of. You CAN have what you want, if you're willing to work for it, and clearly you are. Keep up the great work!
